Polo comes to Iowa City in 1964 under Fritz Fluegel
Longtime Iowa City friend Fred Fluegel campaigns to bring polo to the area. He promotes Newport Polo with land in Newport township and a 150 by 100 yard field. A polo school was held, and Fluegel invites locals to join, noting the absence of polo riches. Meanwhile Adams State linebacker wrestler Larry Conaway shines at Alamosa after moving from Iowa. Iowa football coaches discuss 1964 season plans and platoon system with shifts between offense and defense. Big Ten home teams lead 28 to 9 in early basketball odds.
